Chapter 18 Testing Process Definitions : Colors in Test Mode

Colors in Test Mode

When you test a process definition, the elements of the process change colors depending upon what is occurring in the executing process instance. Table 24 describes the colors of each element in a process definition and their significance.

Table 24 Colors in test mode

Color/Element

Description

Black transition arrow

The transition has not yet been evaluated.

Green transition arrow

The transition has been evaluated, and its condition evaluates to true. Therefore the transition has been taken to the next activity.

Red transition arrow

The transition has been evaluated, and its condition evaluates to false. Therefore the transition is not taken.

Red activity

The activity encountered an error while processing. Any Call Process activity that calls a process in which an error occurs is also red.

Bright yellow activity

The process definition is paused at this activity. This could be either because the activity has a breakpoint set or because the Step to Next Activity or Run To This Resource menu item was used.

The activity has not yet executed, but it is the next activity to execute when the process instance continues.

Yellow activity

The activity is currently executing, but the focus is not on the activity. This can occur if you have multiple paths in your process definition and the focus is not on the current path.
